AN IMPRESSIVE Shepshed Dynamo continued their fine early season form with a comprehensive victory over Goole.

The visitors to the Dovecote certainly created an early impression with the referee as they collected three yellow cards in the space of 20 minutes with “X” rated challenges which later in the game might have seen a different colour of card.

Brad Hill collected the first yellow in the seventh minute for a tackle on Ian Robinson. From the resultant free kick by Ricky Hanson, Matt Millns headed inches wide. Goole put themselves under more pressure when James McDaid was carded for tripping Dan Fletcher. This free kick was cleared but in the 20th minute they were not so lucky.

Out on the right flank Nigel Danvy scythed down Lheureaux Menga for the third booking. The free kick into the crowded box was never properly cleared and the ball finally came out to Ian Robinson who, from fully 30 yards blasted home a low shot that keeper Chris Parry hardly saw.

Menga was walking a fine line with the referee and in the 29th minute he was yellow carded for dissent, which only served to make him a bigger target for Goole taunting.

However the Shepshed striker was to play a large part in the second goal in the 36th minute when he did well to win a corner, from which Matt Millns headed home Rob Norris’s kick.

Within seconds Norris missed a golden opportunity to add a third when he raced through on the right but failed to get the ball past the advancing Parry.

Five minutes before the break Shepshed conceded their first goal of the season. Danny Buttle broke down the left wing and put in a superb cross to Hill who rose above the home defence to head the ball past Gary Hateley.

At half time Shepshed boss Lee Wilson took off the under pressure Menga and brought on Ben Saunders. What a dramatic impact he was to make. Within seconds of the restart he made a powerful run down the right wing and sent in a cross which Shane Benjamin gleefully slammed into the net.

Shepshed were now dominant. Ben Saunders was unlucky when a shot through the legs of two defenders hit the outside of the post and Benjamin skied a ‘sitter’ from six yards.

On 78 minutes Shepshed added a fourth when, following a vicious volley from Robinson that Parry could not hold, the ball ran loose to Sam Saunders who found the net from 10 yards.

The points were now won. Shepshed might have scored more. So there was some embarrassment when Buttle grabbed a consolation goal in the third minute of injury time.
